Pokaż odpowiedź
Odpowiedź: A. 50 seconds
Change minutes to seconds and divide: 20 × 60 = 1,200 seconds; 1,200 ÷ 24 = 50 seconds. 72 seconds comes from dividing the wrong way (24 × 60 ÷ 20). 20 ÷ 24 = 0.83 minutes, which is 50 seconds, not 83 seconds.

Najczęściej zadawane pytania
What is the Certificate of Completion, and what is it not?
It shows that you finished this course and scored at least 80% on the final assessment. It is not an accredited qualification, an employer's test result or a score from any test publisher.
Are these questions from real employer tests?
No. Every question was written for this course to practise the same kinds of skills. Real tests differ between employers, so read your invitation and instructions carefully.
How does the final assessment work?
It has 30 questions drawn at random from the course question bank, with a 30-minute time limit. You need 80% to pass, and each attempt gives a new mix of questions.
Can I use a calculator?
Use whatever your real test allows. Some tests allow a calculator and some do not, so it is good practice to estimate first and then work out the answer.
How should I practise?
Read one lesson, take its untimed topic quiz and read the explanations for anything you got wrong. When you score well on all five topics, try the timed final assessment.
Czy zaświadczenie jest akredytowane lub oficjalnie uznawane?
Nie. To prywatne zaświadczenie o ukończeniu, wyłącznie dla Twojej wiedzy. Nie jest uznawane, akredytowane ani zatwierdzone przez żaden rząd, organ licencyjny, regulatora ani instytucję edukacyjną i nie zastępuje żadnej licencji, certyfikacji ani szkolenia wymaganych przez prawo.
